Nowadays, how to develop and utilize renewable energy has become a pressing task for the world.
As a leader in power and automation technologies, ABB enables utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. Meanwhile, the ABB Group pays much attention to renewable energy especially the wind power, and consider it as the key growth drive of power and automation business.
ABB has contributed to many local wind power projects in China with leading technologies, quality products and attentive services. For example. ABB provided converters to the Three Gorges Wind Power Project in Jiuquan, Gansu province, the Jiangsu coastal Wind Farm, the East Inner Mongolia Wind Farm, and the Zhangbei Wind Farm. Though influenced by the financial crisis in 2009, ABB has still made an impressive growth in Chinese wind power business, 125% increase over the previous year.
Recently, ABB has been launching a new slip ring generator series designed to fit most present 1.5 2.0 MW doubly-fed turbines. In order to know more details about this new product, we were hornered to have an interview with Riku Kytomaki, company president of ABB.
When first met Mr. Riku Kytomaki, the new head of ABB High Voltage Electric Co. , in the meeting room, we felt a little surprised to find that he was much younger than I imagined and was very kind. I was told that Mr. Riku Kytomaki has been working in ABB for 16 years, and once worked in Finland, Germany and Switzerland. In June 2009, Mr. Riku came to China and took over the ABB high-voltage motor business in April 2010. Since then, he has started his another legendary journey in China with his Chinese team.
